Hi, patching the kernel would be a good exercise. Historically that hasn't been acceptable upstream - but then tastes and politics change pretty frequently, and what was nacked one year can be enthusiastically accepted two years later... now the alternative is to use fuse to have userspace change what is shown in those files. Daniel Lezcano years ago had one working. The code for that is up at https://github.com/hallyn/procfs, however it won't work or even compile as is. But if you can whip that into a working shape we could hopefully figure out how to ship it with lxc. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
